Anyone want to help me clean up the Wikipedia travel blog entry?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelblog

It isn't formatted very well, and it doesn't have much info.

I am not a wiki pro myself, but since I run a travel blog site, I would love to see our industry represented better. Can anyone help me clean it up?

Sure... where would we get the info though?

I know that Forbes mag has run some stories on travel blogs. If you search online there are a lot of news mag stories on them..

I don't think the article is terrible right now.. it just looks kind of barren and isn't formatted in a very attractive way.

Since I own a travel site, I don't want to edit it myself because I don't want to be accused of favoritism.

Well, what kind of images can we use? And don't worry, you editing the article won't matter. A lot of people do it, as long as you keep your neutrality, nobody will accuse you of anything.

Screen shots should be considered legal to use under editorial copyright provisions.

Hmm Do you think Travel Blog or TravelBlog is more correct?

Well, I added a screenshot.

I am googling for more info on travel blogs... one Forbes article has a few other sites. I am going to add them too, just to be fair.

Darthworth -- for your information, if Turkish does no add links to our competitors in the next hour, I will.

No thanks. Wikipedia sucks. Google is a better dictionary.

I just updated the spelling of TravelBlog to Travel Blog. Thanks Turkish -- looks a lot better already.
